About Keith »

I'm a lifelong sports fan and diehard supporter of the New England teams (even the Bruins on occasion). I have been a sports columnist and reporter for seven years, and have earned honors as New Hampshire Sports Columnist of the Year for weekly newspapers in 2006 and 2008. I also received First Place for Sports News Writing in 2008 and third place in the same category in 2006. I received a Journalism degree from Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania in 2002 and currently reside in Concord, New Hampshire.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Looking for a good laugh?

NY Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain is a ridiculous, clown pig who people laugh at!

Now sit back, relax, and mock this miserable lump of human pork as you watch my slideshow:

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.

Hey Keith,

The New York Yankees travel to Fenway to take on the Boston Red Sox tonight in a three-game series. What are the keys for the Red Sox to beat the Evil Empire?

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section of my post!
